Abstract

A conference of economists, organised by UNESCO with help and advice from the International Economic Association was held at Bursa in Turkey during the period 24 March to 2 April, 1958. The participants, apart from Professor Marshall and M. Forcart of UNESCO, observers of the Economic Commission for Europe and of the IEA and the small staff of the conference, were about twenty, drawn in almost equal numbers from the communist countries of the USSR and Eastern Europe and from the rest of the world. Since all the participants lived together in the Çelik Palas Hotel at Bursa, there was almost as much unrecorded and informal exchange of ideas over meals, during visits to neighbouring places of interest and in the intervals between formal sessions as during the conference itself. This record must necessarily be confined to the more formal discussions.1 It may, however, be of value to stress that this relatively small number of participants, living closely together, probably made more progress than could have been made under less easy and intimate conditions by a larger group.
